I want to thank Anna at Frosted Petunias for hosting this wonderful, magical PRACTICAL MAGIC BLOG PARTY. I absolutely love this movie and I am so happy to have met so many fellow witches and non witches who love it too.
Welcome to my Practical Magic World.
THE HOUSE. The movie is about the Owens women but let's face it we all watch it for the house. What an amazing Victorian Home they created. I would love to build one just like it.
THAT KITCHEN! Like most of you I love the Owens kitchen. You could really cast some spells in there!
I love this kitchen so much that although I did not make one like it ( I wish!) when we built my studio I made a little room like the conservatory off of the Owens kitchen.
THE AUNTS, THE SISTERS AND THOSE CLOTHES! Wouldn't we all love to have aunts like Jet and Frances. Not only are they amazing witches they dress in the coolest clothes. Gillian and Sally are fab sisters there for each other no matter what, they also have fantastic taste in clothes. I found a great shop that sells reproduced Victorian clothes just like the movie and next years Blog Party (hint, hint Anna) I am dressing the part.
Well Ladies, I'm ready for some Midnight Margaritas, so let's get this party started. Did you know that filming the Midnight Margarita scene the actresses really got completely drunk on a bottle of Tequila Nicole Kidman brought to the set. Now there's a movie I would have liked to have acted in.
Okay girls, grab your drinks and lets go upstairs.
I have my hat ready and my flight spell cast.
So lets join Jet, Frances, Sally and Gillian on the roof for some fun.
I hope you all have enjoyed your visit. I am on my way to your house now, so get the margaritas ready and remember to always plant Rosemary on one side of the garden for Remeberance and Sage on the other side for Wisdom and if a broom falls company is coming so LETS CLEAN HOUSE!!!!!
Love your post! That house is to die for!

What an absolutely charming party! I had such a wonderful time and you do make the BEST margaritas. The house, the clothes, the entire vintage feel is so amazing about this movie. Thank you for sharing such sweet memories of this movie. I hope Anna does this again next year so I can see your marvelous outfits! Hugs and magical blessings to you sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteI came back to see if there were any margaritas left, and was sooo happy to see that one of your pics got the fallen tree while it was still standing. Aw, that little things that matter...
ReplyDeleteP.S. I've stolen your button ;-)
Thank you for sharing your wonderful post. There is always something new to see in the photos. I love them all. Please visit me:

What a lovely party post! I never get tired of seeing the house, especially that awesome kitchen. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I adore the little room you made in your studio and now I'm filled with remorse that I didn't think of doing that when my husband built my studio for me. Hmmm...I wonder if I could talk him into an addition...nah, probably not. I think those margaritas went to my head!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Victoria from Brushstrokes

Love your post! So sorry I was late getting here for the PM party but my broom is a late model and is a slow rider. But it was so worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late but I've loved attending your party, I can't stop looking at photos of that house, it's just so perfect and full of dreams. I loved the end scene where the town people came out to celebrate Halloween with them.
